Planning and Land Use
What is Planning
for Sustainable Communities? It is an approach to
community planning that infuses the ideas and issues of
sustainability into a planning process and into a community and/or
comprehensive plan, which includes land use. The foundations of
current land use practices from historical, constitutional,
economic, ecological, and societal perspectives are reviewed and
alternative methods are suggested for managing growth and
development.
